Hello Doctor,
I was erroneosly diagnosed with being schizophernic by my old doctor,and i later developed a drinking habit,now as per my new doctor i have stopped both the alcohol and the schizophernia medicines.
I am experiencing withdrawl symptoms,but i cannot understand if this means that its because i am off alchocol or because i actually am a schizophernic!
I feel jittery,depressed,tired and cant sleep.But i dont hear voices or anything in my mind...Please help!
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Deven vyas
